Israel-blog.jpg


Why is Israel colored black? Is that mean Israel got supported bu the US?
Why is Israel soldier had gun and why other doesn't?
Why is other nations that surrounding Palestinians?

This showing that Israel wants to get all the land, because Israel is a black person with a gun that tried to shoot all other land. But first that other country had took their land. "Go Ahead, he took you square --- take it back!"
Some people seems to be laughing, some people seem to be mad. Israel is not in a good position either, because if he destroy the Palestinian, other piece will destroy Israel too. White Piece from chess board go first, so that mean, Palestinians attack first, so Israel is attacking them back for the land.


The message of the cartoon that showed Israel is a the one who wants to steal all the land with shooting others down. Because Israel's was token away by Palestine, so now, Israel is aiming on Palestinians.

Everyone is stand up and against Israel

Israel- Palestine Cartoon video:

What is the message?


The message of the the cartoon video that even the elementary school kids, he got bullied by another kid, but he still tried to defense himself from more harm. The white shirt boy representing the Israel, and the green shirt boy who bully representing the Palestine, that he got a lot of supports, because no one saw him bullying the white shirt boy, indeed he does, and for many times. White boy was just trying to defense himself. Just like the Israel, Palestine got many other countries support them, as a small country, Only the US support the Israel to defense the Palestine. The Bias for the Israel that they have to defense them self from bully. Just like the same thing, Israel doesn't not want to have a conflict with Palestine,but Palestine keeping doing something to Israel. The quote from the video said, "the war is not the elementary school." This mean that Israel was just trying to defend their border.


The Quotation:

In the late 1880's a group of Zionists traveled to Palestine to see what it offered as a Jewish homeland. One Zionist said, when he returned to Europe;

"The Bride is beautiful but she is married to another man"
  • What was meant by this quote:

The bride is representing the Palestine, it said she married to another man, that meant the land of the Palestine is beautiful, because he is looking for a land for a Jewish State, but she is married to another man, that meant it was belong to Arab for a century. The quote was foreshadowing to the problem, trying to looking a Jewish homeland, it is beautiful, but it belong to another "man" already.
